This morning, mum and D-Guy went to eat special buffet breakie for hoomans only (can you believe it?). After they came back, mum ABANDONED me and took STINKY and his gurrrrlfriend Faye for a walk. She never returned!!!! Well, not for a long time anyway.

Faye had been staying with us because her pawrents went to the city of Lost Wages. (mum: Las Vegas!)

They left looking like this,

Came back looking like this! Well, STINKY was relatively un-changed. You can see more pictures on STINKY's bloggie.

(mum: I took Faye over to the apartment for grooming after the walk. Derek was home with Sunshade.)

When mum finally came home, the sun was already setting.....

But D-Guy told mum that they should still take "Sunshade" out because he knew mum usually always takes me out to a fun place on X-mas. We usually go up the mountain on X-mas for me to play in snow, but since we already went to Cypress Mountain on my birfday, we decided to go somewhere a little different.

We went to the waterfront area by Canada Place and Vancouver Convention Center,

He told mum she should take a picture of me with these Christmas bears inside the glass display,

So mum did!

Then, a little hooman pup started inching his way, ever so subtle (or so he thought) towards me. His dad read him very well though, and asked mum if it was ok for him to pet me. Mum said yes of course. The hooman pup was SO happy when he caught up to me,

His dad wanted to take pictures of us. So I posed, because I'm PERFECT!

Then another hooman saw that the little hooman pup got a picture with the celebrity (Queen of Muscle Butts), and she wanted a picture too.

Those two hoomans on the right were getting their camera ready because they wanted a photo of me The PERFECT ME too,

Afterwards, the man said to mum and D-Guy:

That is the cutest, best behaved dog I have ever seen!

Mum said Thank You and wished them a Merry Christmas. I get those compliments all the time and they make mum all smiley. Mum is especially happy when someone tells her how good I looked for my age!

Then D-Guy said enough posing because people kept coming up. So he just ran away. When I see a part of my pack run away, I automatically have to go chase him.

I trotted really fast away from the Puparazzis,

Me and D-Guy continued walking behind Canada Place,

Mum gave me a tennis ball to hold,

I love it when I have something I love (which means everybuddy else wants) in my mouf. I feel empowered!

BOTH mum and D-Guy wanted MY tennis ball you know???

I, Master of the Keep-Away Game would drop the ball in front of myself and taunt them with my eyes,

They fall for it every time,

They kept on attacking me, one from the front, one from the back, (mum: she LOVES the keep away game.)

ALAS... only one could come out VICTORIOUS in the end!!

Mum wanted a picture with the one and only being on earth that could out-smart her,

After the game, I took some time to reflect on the mistakes I might have made during the game. However, as it turned out, I made no mistake (as usual).

I left my mark, (mum: she lifts her leg to mark, like a boy dog.)

I took a break in front of a Christmas tree,

Then I saw some strange lights....... so I went to check them out. Don't worry, Vancouver has not been invaded by aliens,

About Me

Hi everybody, my name is Sunshade and I am a 13 year old SuperDALE. The reason I'm a SuperDALE is because I am extremely smart and am always there for my mum (ie, when she locked me and the car keys in the car, I unlocked the car door for her)!
Mum got me as her 16th B-Day present from grandpa and we've been inseparable ever since. I saw mum through high school graduation, moved from Victoria to the big city - Vancouver with mum, went to many of mum's lectures with her, and finally saw her through university graduation.
Words cannot describe the bond mum and I share. It is truly a once in a life time connection that we have with each other. Mum says I'm her "one in a million soulmate", I think so too!!!
Here are some basic information about ME:
***Breed: Airedale Terrier ***Registered name: Loc Aire's "Sunshade"
***Date of Birth: November 25th 1999 ***Birth place: Port Angeles, WA ***Current age: 10 years old ***Hometown: Victoria + Vancouver B.C. ***Weight: 63 lbs
